User account password lost.

Forgot password to my Toshiba Laptop Satellite M505-S4945
I forgot the password to my user account. No other administrator accounts only one limited one. I am using window 7 and I am begging for some help. No window recovery flashdrive or anything. I am in need of dire help

Satellite M505-S4945
There is always a hidden Administrator account (with extra-special privileges). First, try the following from the limited account. If a password is requested, use a blank. (I hope you have the Professional or Ultimate edition. Local Users and Groups is not available in Basic or Home.)
Access the real Administrator account in Windows 7
Otherwise, the best way to handle this is to reset passwords.

Thanks for sharing this but you are talking always about Toshiba passwordthis is wrong and I think this could be a little confusing this is a workaround for windows user account password.
As far as I know there are no password set by Toshiba.
The user can set the windows user account password if necessary so this workaround describes how to delete a Windows user account password which is common for all computers with preinstalled Windows OS.
However, thanks for posting ;)

IMac keeps asking for user account password when changing Airport

Whenever I change anything in Airport (switching networks mainly) my iMac constantly prompts me to submit my user account password. All other macs don't do that. Any clues?

Suggest that if you haven't already taken the next steps....open System Preferences > Network > AirPort and delete the current wireless connection by highlighting the name of the network, then clicking the - (minus) button at the bottom of the connection list. Click OK and then Apply.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and locate the name of the wireless network, then highlight and delete that entry.
Restart your Mac to see if that will allow you to start fresh.
If still no luck, I'm afraid it's getting down to a re-installation of the operating system on the Mac.

How do i find out or reset my user account password?

i just downloaded osx lion and mac prompted me for a user password and i have no idea what that is or how to find out what it is.

You need to cancel the Lion install for now.
Print this out as your going to be off the computer.
If you have the 10.6 disk then stick it in the computer and reboot holding c
The second screen in is the OS X installer, but if you look under the Utilities menu you can reset your pasword.
If you don't have a 10.6 disk your going to need to do this
Grab the name of the user account you want to reset the password for, write it down.
The Easy Password Reset Way. (no disk required)
1: Reboot the machine holding Command and S keys,you'll boot into single user mode.
2: Type in each command below followed by Enter or Return
fsck -fymount -uw /passwd "username"
(where "username" is the users name of the password your trying to change)
Example:
fsck -fymount -uw /passwd johnnyboy
If you don't know the name of the users then enter
ls /Users/
and you'll see three items: .localized, Shared, and a "username"
When done
exit
or
reboot
(note: if a firmware password is set, this or c booting from theinstaller cd will not work)

User Account Password Resetting

Hi All,
I have an issue on one site running 10.4.9 server on an Intel XServe where one individual user account continually has the password reset, meaning that she cannot logon.
Previously on this server I had the issue with the Password Service crashing everytime a user was created which seems to have been fixed with the update of 10.4.9, however this user still continues to be a problem
There seems to be no reason for the account resetting, the server has not been rebooted for it to happen, nothing in the system log shows anything abnormal.
A few weeks back I tried deleting the user account and re-creating her which worked for a few days and then it happened again.
Following the 10.4.9 install I have deleted her account and created her again with a brand new SID and that worked a treat for a week, and then yesterday it happened again.
We are now having to manually reset her password every few days so that she can logon to the system. She is the only user affected and I have disabled the complexity requirements for passwords in the Open Directory Service.
If anyone has any thoughts/ideas on what could be causing this then please let me know.
Cheers,
PJR

I know we've got an answer, but I wanted to throw in another permutation I came across. This applies to people running OS X Server in the "magic triangle" configuration, where authentication is handled by something other than OS X Server (eDirectory, in my case.)
I'd try to log in to an account and the login window would shake at me. Go in to workgroup manager, reset the password, try again and it works. However the next time I try to log in I'll get the same error.
This puzzled me for a minute, but it was the regularity of the behavior that tipped me off. The problem is simply that the user's password has expired, and the message doesn't make it through to the Macs. Maybe it does with Active Directory (anyone?) and maybe there's an LDAP binding to make it work with eDirectory (anyone again?) Likewise, maybe there's a binding that will let eDirectory know that WGM changed the password. In any case, that was the problem and the solution was simply to change my password using the Novell client on a Windows box.
There, maybe that'll help someone out in a very specific situation...

I cannot reset my user account password...

After upgrading to Lion, several old user accounts appear on my login list (all of which are administrator status.) I tried to save the settings to automatically log in to my most current account, but the password does not match, and I think I will have to reset it. Resetting my master password did not make a difference, and in System Preferences/ User & Groups, I selected "Allow user to reset password using Apple ID" but cannot find any resetting options from there. I would like to try to reset my account password versus creating an entirely new account. Any suggestions are appreciated!

So what happens when you go into the mail settings to input the correct password?

User account password expired

Everytime I try to install updates or downloads.I amtaken to the user account that says my password has expired, I have tried everywhere to try and reset. Best so far is to reinstall windows 8. Are there any other options?

Hi,
Firstly, as this forum is for Remote desktop services related question, please let us know if you are just running a standalone Windows 8 PC. If so, it is recommended to post the question
in Windows 8 forums for help.

Windows 8.1 IT Pro forums
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?category=w8itpro
Meanwhile, you can go to Local Users and Groups (lusrmgr.msc), right click the user account and choose Properties, check Password never expires.
Hope this helps.

Using IE3.5, users can't read the user account/password page

We are currently using IE3 to access Netscape mail. Before the upgrade
from 2.0 to 3.5, users on IE3 could go access their user account page and change
password information. After the upgrade to version 3.5, all clients using
IE3 are unable to read the information now.
<P>
Is there a workaround solution?
<P>
Use IE4.xx or Netscape Communicator 4.xx. Make sure Javascript is enabled in
the Advanced Preferences section.

User Account Passwords Not Working Following Time Machine Restore

Hard Drive failed; restored using Time Machine, but the Passwords for two user account don't work. The "hints" are correct.
Help, please.

Can they be altered from another admin account?
Sound like they were backed up when the drive was failing & we have some corruption.

Is there a user type in the UME on java where the user account will not expire? Much like the service user type on ABAP.

Server app v3.01 User Accounts password add/reset/editing functions greyed out

I recently upgraded a Lion server to Mavericks with 1500 users and 450 clients on Xserve early2009 2.26Ghz Quad core Xeon 24GB RAM 32 TB Raid.
        All the upgrade went ok through 10.7 to 10.8 to 10.9 apart from having to rekerberise the realm to get users to log in from various 10.7,10.8,10.9x10) clients . I do not use Profile Manager as yet as I have had lots of faults on test networks etc so I continue to use Workgroup Manager 10.9 and Server app v3.01 now that Server Admin Tools has been discontinued.
        I have noticed however that all my users in Accounts/Server App are not editable such as password resets adding and deleting users etc. If you choose Edit User all the information shows but is greyed out for editing etc.
I still use WorkGroup Manager for adding/editing users and changing passwords which still functions(thank goodness).
        Am I missing something in that I cant edit/add users because I upgraded from a previous directory and OS etc? Do I have to accept the server app wont edit/add users and stick with WGM? Or are there serious underlying faults with my open directory?
         There are also lots of quirks in the File Sharing pane with users hanging on after logging out from clients and duplicates of log ins when they log in again. Today I restarted my server to update the Server app to 3.01 and i got a message saying 361 users were logged in although no users were showing in the File Sharing pane for about 12 hours! Obviously there is some problem with the termination of the log out process in AFP that doesnt take place. Since reboot this morning the memory usage has dramatically decreased so I am waiting to see if the errors return when we get a busy network situation later today.
Anyone had tthese problems or fixed the issues?

Just to update my post I referred to the the brilliant Krypted site to see if anything would help my situation and found this post on resetting the Server.app. I havent had time to try this yet but I'd like others to comment if they try it first:
"Unresponsive Server After Mavericks Upgrade? Reset Server App
The Server 3 app is great. But when you go making changes to some things, you’re just going to cause problems, sometimes something as simple as just upgrading to the latest and greatest version of Server… I know, you’ve been told that host name changes and IP changes are all kinds of OK at this point; “look, Charles, there’s a button!” Well, go ahead, click it. Don’t mind me, you might just be alright. But then again, you might not… And upgrades that use a migration wizard… Um, when it works it’s a thing of beauty. But when it doesn’t, you might be restoring some stuff from backup. But just before you do that restore, let’s try one more thing. Let’s try and rebuild some certificates and configuration settings that shouldn’t impact actual service operation. Let’s try to reset the Server app and let a fresh install of the Server see if it can fix issues.
Now, I want to be clear, this is the last resort before restoration. I’ve had a lot of luck with services remaining functional and preserving settings when I do this, but don’t expect that. Basically, we’re going to do what we looked at doing back in ’09 with AppleSetupDone but one designed just for servers, so the file is in the same place (/var/db) and called .ServerSetupDone. To remove it, close Server app and run the following command:
sudo rm /var/db/.ServerSetupDone
Once removed, open the Server app again and then let the Server app run as though it’s new. Cruft, begone!"

User system, password lost..

hi, this could be stupid, but i lost the system password of my oracle 9i database..
are there any way to recover it??
please help me!

If you have access to login as oracle(os user) onto the server. Log on to the database as sys using option "/ as sysdba", then change the password for system user.
Ex:
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
alter user system identified by <new_system_passwd>;

User account password lost.
